Schoenbrunn Village
Facility
Schoenbrunn Village was founded in 1772 as a Moravian mission to the Delaware Indians. The village's early inhabitants established Ohio's first civil code and built its first schoolhouse. The precise and detailed records of the Moravians enabled the Ohio Historical Society to reconstruct the log-structure village of the 1920s. A state appropriation of $298,863 funded renovations to the visitor restrooms in 2002, and earlier New Philadelphia airport safety improvements, site clearing and landscaping, and reconstructed-building repairs.
